Davis Polk is pleased to announce the launch of the DavisPolkReg Twitter feed, which will provide real-time updates on key Dodd-Frank rulemaking activities and relevant Davis Polk publications.

No New Deadlines. No new rulemaking requirements were due in September.

3 Requirements Met, 1 Proposed. Three rulemaking requirements were finalized thismonth, including the FDIC’s Joint Final Rule on Resolution Plans (also known as “livingwills”). The Federal Reserve is expected to issue their version of the rule soon. One rulewas proposed for which the deadline had already passed.

Volcker Rule Expected. A coordinated proposed rule on implementation of the VolckerRule is expected in the coming weeks.

2 Studies Issued. The GAO and the SEC each published one study in September. New Progress Report Feature. The Progress Report now divides missed deadlines into

those for which a proposed rule has been published and those for which no proposedrule has been published. As deadlines are missed, this will help readers gauge progress.

9 Requirements Met, 3 Proposed. Four deadlines that had been previously missed were met, and five with future deadlines were finalized. Two of the proposed rules, one from the SEC and one from the Federal Reserve, appear as missed requirements as their deadlines have passed.

Bank Regulators. Although August was a quiet month for the Bank Regulators, they are expected to take action on several key items in the coming months, including issuing rules regarding resolution plans and implementation of the Volcker Rule.

CFPB Begins Rulemaking. The CFPB finalized its first 5 rules in late July. None had a statutory deadline.

No New Deadlines. No new rulemaking requirements were due in June. The next Dodd-Frank rulemaking deadlines will be in July, near the one-year anniversary of Dodd-Frank.

14 Requirements Met, 6 Proposed. Rules fulfilling 14 rulemaking requirements were finalized in June. Rules to satisfy six additional rulemaking requirements were proposed. While this represents progress, it remains clear that regulators will not be able to meet the large number of rulemaking deadlines in July.

CFTC and SEC Defer Swaps Requirements. The CFTC and SEC acted this month to issue temporary relief and defer many Title VII requirements that otherwise would have gone into effect on July 16. Most importantly, both Commissions indicated they will defer provisions that rely on key definitions until they complete further rulemaking. The CFTC has indicated its relief will last no later than December 31, 2011, making this the new focal point for rulemaking. Market participants are in the process of determining how this shift will affect their Title VII implementation plans. A Davis Polk memorandum on these developments is available here.

No New Deadlines. No new rulemaking requirements were due in May. The next Dodd-Frank rulemaking deadlines will be in July, near the one-year anniversary of Dodd-Frank. Deadlines for 109 rulemaking requirements fall in the third quarter of 2011.

3 Missed Requirements Met, 18 Proposed. Rules meeting three rulemaking requirements related to new whistleblower provisions were finalized. Rules to satisfy 18 additional rulemaking requirements were proposed. While this represents progress, it remains clear that regulators will not be able to meet the large number of rulemaking deadlines in July. To this point, only 24 (6.2%) of Dodd-Frank's rulemaking requirements have been met with finalized rules, while 28 rulemaking deadlines have been missed.

Dodd-Frank Required Studies. Dodd-Frank requires a number of studies in order to inform future legislation and rulemaking. Many of these studies, most notably the Volcker Rule study, will have significant implications for Dodd-Frank rulemaking and require extreme care by the government entities charged with their completion. This month’s Progress Report quantifies these required studies, and progress on them, for the first time. Eighty-seven studies are required by Dodd-Frank of which, to this point, 24 have been completed. Two study deadlines have been missed.

April Deadlines: All Missed. Backlog Increases. April saw the nine-month anniversary of Dodd-Frank and, with that, the deadlines for all 26 rulemaking requirements in the second quarter of 2011. All were missed. The backlog of missed rulemaking requirements now stands at 30.

Enormous Demands on Regulators. It has been clear since the passage of Dodd-Frank that the demands on the regulators are enormous and unprecedented. Pages 12 and 13 of this Progress Report quantify this burden by showing the number of proposed rules, interim final rules and concept releases the CFTC and SEC have released for public comment each day since January 1, 2009. While this measure admittedly does not distinguish between more and less important proposals, the increase over pre-Dodd-Frank work is clear.

Dramatic Increase in CFTC Open Comment Periods. The number of open comment periods for CFTC rules, found on page 12, is particularly striking. From the beginning of 2009 until the passage of Dodd-Frank, the CFTC never had more than four rule proposals or concept releases out for public comment on any given day. In late December 2010, the CFTC had 31 rule proposals or concept releases out for public comment. Many of these comment periods have since closed, and CFTC staffers are undoubtedly busy reading through the resulting comments before finalizing rules. More missed deadlines are sure to result. As discussed on the following pages, we expect to see similar patterns for the SEC and banking regulators as the deadlines for their rulemakings approach.

CFTC and SEC Deadlines Approaching. Banking Regulators to Follow. A large percentage of required rulemakings are due in the third quarter of 2011 (27.5%), most of which relate to OTC derivatives regulation. The Act backloads the required rulemaking by the Banking Agencies – the FDIC, OCC and Fed – and the CFPB.

Few Rules Finalized. While regulators have made significant progress, there is much left to do. To this point, very few rules (only 5.4%) have been finalized. As statutory deadlines approach, some are starting to be missed. An enormous number of rules will need to be finalized within the next two quarters, many of which have not yet been proposed.

Many Rulemakings with No Deadline. Many rulemakings (29.0%), including many for the to-be-formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, have no specific deadline.
